Genesis 2
1 And the heavens and the earth are completed, and all their host;
Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all their host.
2 and God completes by the seventh day His work which He has made, and ceases by the seventh day from all His work which He has made.
Thus God finished, on the seventh day his work which he had made, and rested, on the seventh day, from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blesses the seventh day, and sanctifies it, for in it He has ceased from all His work which God had created for making.
And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it, —because therein, rested he from all his work which God, by creating, had made.
4 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth in their being created, in the day of YHWH God’s making the earth and the heavens;
These are the geneses of the heavens and the earth when they were created, —in the day when Yahweh God made earth and heavens.
5 and no shrub of the field is yet in the earth, and no herb of the field yet sprouts, for YHWH God has not rained on the earth, and there is not a man to serve the ground,
Now, no bush of the field, as yet—was in the earth, and, no herb of the field, as yet had sprung up, —because Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, and, man, was there none to till the ground;
6 and a mist goes up from the earth, and has watered the whole face of the ground.
but, a vapour, went up from the earth, —and watered all the face of the ground.
7 And YHWH God forms the man—dust from the ground, and breathes into his nostrils breath of life, and the man becomes a living creature.
So then Yahweh God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his nostrils the breath of life—and man became a living soul.
8 And YHWH God plants a garden in Eden, at the east, and He sets there the man whom He has formed;
And Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, on the east, —and put there the man whom he had formed.
9 and YHWH God causes to sprout from the ground every tree desirable for appearance, and good for food, and the Tree of Life in the midst of the garden, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
And Yahweh God, caused to spring up, out of the ground, every tree pleasant to the sight and good for food, —and the tree of life, in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
10 And a river is going out from Eden to water the garden, and from there it is parted, and has become four chief [rivers];
Now, a river, was coming forth out of Eden, to water the garden, —and, from thence, it parted, and became four heads,
11 the name of the first [is] Pison, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Havilah where the gold [is],
The name of the one, is Pishon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Havilah, where is gold;
12 and the gold of that land [is] good; the bdellium and the shoham stone [are] there;
moreover the gold of that land, is good, —there, is the bdellium, and the beryl stone,
13 and the name of the second river [is] Gihon, it [is] that which is surrounding the whole land of Cush;
And the name of the second river, is Gihon, —the same, is that which surroundeth all the land of Cush,
14 and the name of the third river [is] Hiddekel, it [is] that which is going east of Asshur; and the fourth river is the Euphrates.
And, the name of the third river, is Hiddekel, the same, is that which goeth in front of Assyria; and the fourth river, is Euphrates.
15 And YHWH God takes the man, and causes him to rest in the Garden of Eden, to serve it and to keep it.
So Yahweh God took the man, —and placed him in the garden of Eden, to till it and to keep it.
16 And YHWH God lays a charge on the man, saying, “From every tree of the garden eating you eat;
And Yahweh God laid command on the man, saying, —Of every tree of the garden, thou mayest eat;
17 but from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you do not eat from it, for in the day of your eating from it—dying you die.”
but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, —for in the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die.
18 And YHWH God says, “[It is] not good for the man to be alone; I make him a helper as his counterpart.”
And Yahweh God said, It is, not good, that the man should remain alone, —I will make for him a helper as his counterpart.
19 And YHWH God forms from the ground every beast of the field, and every bird of the heavens, and brings [them] to the man, to see what he calls it; and whatever the man calls a living creature, that [is] its name.
Now Yahweh God had formed from the ground every living thing of the field and every bird of the heavens, which he brought in unto the man, that he might see what he should call it, —and, whatsoever the man should call it—any living soul, that, should be the name thereof.
20 And the man calls names to all the livestock, and to bird of the heavens, and to every beast of the field; but for man a helper has not been found as his counterpart.
So the man gave names to all the tame-beasts, and to the birds of the heavens, and to all the wild-beasts of the field, —but, for man, had there not been found a helper as his counterpart.
21 And YHWH God causes a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he sleeps, and He takes one of his ribs, and closes up flesh in its stead.
So Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept, —and he took one of his ribs, and closed up flesh instead thereof.
22 And YHWH God builds up the rib which He has taken out of the man into a woman, and brings her to the man;
And Yahweh God builded the rib which he had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her in unto the man.
23 and the man says, “This at last! Bone of my bone, and flesh of my flesh!” For this is called Woman, for this has been taken from Man;
And the man said, This, one, now, is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh! This, one shall be called Woman, for, out of a man, hath this one been taken.
24 therefore a man leaves his father and his mother, and has cleaved to his wife, and they have become one flesh.
For this cause, will a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
25 And both of them are naked, the man and his wife, and they are not ashamed of themselves.
And they were both of them naked, the man and his wife, —and put not each other to shame.
